Unnamed 13158 OverviewUncompahgre Peak on it's main page, but it is a large mesa-like mountain that is an instant land mark. 13158 however is lucky enough to share it's saddle with Uncompahgre and that saddle is one of the main routes up it. So, it is usually combined with Uncompahgre Peak and maybe Wetterhorn Peak as well. From the saddle, the hike is very easy to the top and you should be up and down within 45 minutes, if not, shorter. And your in the Uncompahgre Wilderness already, so of coarse it will make a memorable side trip to your day.
